Rate My Professor Ethan Chiew

Ethan Chiew serves as an Academic Teacher in the Curtin College Pathways section, within the Global Future Students area and Global Curtin portfolio at Curtin University's Perth campus. His affiliation includes the Department of Computing and the School of Electrical Engineering, Computing and Mathematical Sciences at Curtin University. Chiew holds a Bachelor of Science (BSc) from Curtin University and completed an Honours program in Computer and Actuarial Science. During his Honours studies, he focused on computational linguistics applied to text mining of ancient texts. His research interests encompass machine learning, advanced machine learning, data mining and knowledge discovery, machine intelligence, statistical learning, applied artificial intelligence, data clustering, prediction, statistical data analysis, and data science. These areas reflect his expertise in leveraging computational methods for data-intensive applications.

In 2021, Chiew co-authored the chapter 'Mapping Ancient Heritage Narratives with Digital Tools' in the publication Virtual Heritage: A Guide, alongside researchers including Anna Foka, David A. McMeekin, O. Cenk Demiroglu, Brady Kiesling, and Linda Talatas. The chapter presents a case study utilizing digital tools to map narratives from the Vindolanda Tablets, demonstrating innovative approaches to heritage analysis through computational techniques. ResearchGate profiles indicate he has contributed to 10 research items aligned with his interests in computing and data science. Professionally, Chiew instructs the Fundamentals of Programming unit, an introductory course in Python programming, as part of Curtin College's diploma programs designed for pathway students transitioning to full university degrees. His teaching supports foundational skills in programming for global future students pursuing further studies in computing and related fields.
